I will describe a procedure, known as holomorphic twist, to isolate protected quantities in supersymmetric quantum field theories. The resulting theories are holomorphic, interacting and have infinite dimensional symmetries, analogous to the holomorphic half of a 2D CFT. I will explain how to study quantum corrections to these symmetries and other higher operations.
As a surprise, we find a novel UV manifestation of
confinement, dubbed "holomorphic confinement," in the example of pure
SU(N) super Yang-Mills.
